First Robotics Competition
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science & technology
The Ultimate Sport for the MindTM
Under strict rules and limited time and resources, teams of high school students are challenged to build industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game in alliance with other teams, while also fundraising to meet their goals, designing a team “brand,” and advancing respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.
Studica is a proud supporter of FIRST and manufacter of both the NavX MXP and the NAVx Micro 9-axis IMU's for FIRST Robotics
We are also the Canadian Distributors for AndyMark and The Thrifty Bot.
8mm to 1/2 in. Hex Shaft Adapter - Long
This adapter converts an 8 mm keyed shaft to 1/2 in. hex. The keyway is 2 mm wide. This allows you to adapt the output of a motor or gearbox like the CIM Motor (am-0255) to any of our hubs or wheels with a 1/2 in. hex bore. You'll need a 2 mm machine key (am-1121) to complete the assembly and transmit torque from the motor.
This adapter is no longer available in the 0.75 in. length.

1 in. Tee Gusset
We are pleased to offer these new gussets that are suitable for 1" based building systems. These thoughtfully designed gussets are made from 1/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum, which is a much stronger material than other 0.09" 5052 gussets. All of these framing gussets feature a 1" linear hole pattern, with holes suitable for either #10 screws or 3/16" rivets.
On all of the angle gussets, a generous radius was used on the inside corner for maximum strength. The various angle gussets, along with the quad and tee gusset are used together to create structures and sub-assemblies for your robot. Our bearing and Sport gussets are perfect building blocks to create a massive variety of mechanisms and assemblies to suit your needs.
Specifications
- Hole Pattern: Plates feature 0.20 in. Holes on a 1 in. Center to Center Spacing
- Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
- Thickness: 0.125 in
2.5 inch CIM Motor
The CIM motor is a tried and true FIRST Robotics Competition workhorse motor. This brushed DC motor is 2.5 inches in diameter and kicks out 337 watts of power.
Pinion Options:
The CIM motor shaft is 0.313 in. (8 mm) in diameter and 1.25 inches long. It features a 2 mm wide machine key slot allowing installation of any number of custom or off the shelf pinions such as those included with all of our CIM based gearboxes. Other options include a pre-attached 16 tooth pinion making the CIM ready to mate to a CIM Sport planetary gearbox or a pre-attached 15 tooth pinion preparing the CIM for an EVO Gearbox. Use either of these two options if you are planning on using either the CIM Sport or an EVO gearbox and don't want to install the press fit pinion yourself. All of our other CIM based gearboxes use a slip fit pinion & machine key and are easy for the end user to install.

0.118 in. Thick 24 in. x 24 in. Polycarbonate Sheet
This is a single sheet of 1/8 inch thick polycarbonate (PC) plastic, cut to a 24x24 inch square. This single sheet of PC will be shipped with the protective covering on both sides of the plastic sheet.
Polycarbonate was invented in 1963 by Dan Fox at General Electric. GE's trade name for this plastic is LEXAN, but it also is sold under other trade names (Makrolon, Hyzod, Cyrolon).
This material is NOT plexiglas or acrylic, as we don't suggest that you use that material on a mobile robot, since acrylic will easily shatter.

- Weight: 2.9 pounds
- Width: 24 inches
- Length: 24 inches
- Material thickness: 0.118 inch
- Material: Clear Polycarbonate

Box Tube Extrusion, 1 X 1 in., .063 Wall Thickness, 6 ft. Length
These aluminum box extrusions are robust and lightweight solutions for custom robot frames, superstructures and mechanism construction. Made to all of your favorite English sizes, the classic 2x1 thin wall tubing is now joined by its thicker-walled counterpart. We have also introduced two thicknesses of 1x1 sizes that teams know and love to build their medium-sized mechanisms.
For smaller mechanisms, we recommend using our 5/8 square box tube that is also compatible with our S3 line of brackets and gussets.
Available Sizes:
- 2 x 1 x 1/16 in. (0.063 in.) 6061-T6 alloy
- 2 x 1 x 1/8 in. (0.125 in.) 6061-T6 alloy
